The honchos at the RNC should be cutting a commercial RIGHT NOW showing Obama touting the plant last year on his visit. They should show the commercial immediately AFTER his ‘jobs’ speech to the Congress he is giving on September 7th, where by all accounts he is going to call for even MORE gov’t cash to create ‘green jobs’.
The first half of the commercial should show Barry at the plant touting the jobs and then juxtapose the people today being given pink slips in front of the chained gate.
The second half of the commercial should show drilling rigs in the US drilling for oil in the Bakken shale, Eagle Ford, or nat gas in the Marcellus. There should be a voice over saying the US oil industry is not asking for tax breaks and gov’t money to create phony ‘green jobs’, they are only asking for the gov’t to get the HELL OUT OF THE WAY and let them create good paying jobs.
This story perfectly illustrates the kind of crony capitalism this administration engages in, choosing winners and losers, rewarding friends and punishing enemies.
milwguy, the RNC and the pub politicians are way too busy stuffing their own pockets to put any effort into pointing out the epic fail this represents for Obama. Besides, they have probably already decided that the best thing to do is lay low and saying nothing of this as it might upset people, hoping it will fall off the radar ASAP. Lord in Heaven, please give us a party that represents conservative values.....
'Crony capitalism' is just a fancy term for 'fascism'.
